Posted by kapnick on Jun 12, 2013 1:01:31 PM

At first thought, "work" and "workouts" may seem like entirely separate spheres of life. However, thanks to employers who recognize the importance of wellness and physical fitness in their staff members, it's not uncommon to find office buildings with fitness centers and employee fitness classes.

Features: You can participate in workplace yoga through formal classes, informal sessions or just by doing exercises at your desk every day. Dozens of yoga studios across the nation contract with companies and corporations to offer regular classes at lunchtime or before and after normal work hours. In such a class, an instructor will come to your company and lead instruction for a period that typically ranges from 30 minutes to an hour.

Posted by kapnick on May 28, 2013 12:27:23 PM

"What is the reason for buying an electric toothbrush?" I asked myself when I entered my local Target store. I knew that my dentist recommended it, but why. I perceived myself to be an adequate brusher; I floss and rinse usually 3 to 4 times a day, so what can the electric toothbrush do that I can’t? I found out--to my surprise--quite a bit.
